The big sailor sprung aside with an oath, forced from him by his terror; and from every looker-on there broke a groan. They all shrunk away and stood staring with blanched faces. Such a piteous sight as it was, lying doubled up, with the rope pinioning the miserable limbs, the teeth locked, and the right arm uptossed!
The fireman passed round behind, and suddenly fell upon him, throwing him on the floor and pinioning his arms to his back. "What are you about?" cried Ethan, struggling to release himself. "Help! help!" "Stop his mouth!" said Ben fearfully. Vainly poor Ethan endeavored to shake off his assailants; his arms were tied together behind him, and a handkerchief stuffed into his mouth.
Without a sound, but with the animal passion for killing upon his white face, he wheeled and leaped upon the Black One, crushing him, pinioning him against the tree, strangling him with the grip of his hands. To his friend A man should be a friend, To him and to his friend; But no man Should be the friend Of his foe's friend. Ha'vama'l In the madness of his rush, Alwin blundered.
Burrowing out from under him, I sprang to my feet aglow with triumph and found myself in the clutch of the second gentleman from the chimney-place, who apparently had come hotfoot to his comrade's aid. I was fairly caught. His arms went round me like steel girders, pinioning mine to my sides before I knew what he was about.
At twelve minutes to eight o'clock the executioner, Calcraft, and his assistant, were introduced into the cell in which the prisoners were placed, and the process of pinioning their arms was gone through. The priests stood by the side of the unhappy men, administering the consolations of religion, and exhorting them to firmness to meet the last dreadful ordeal.
"Gee! if I've made three sales this livelong day I don't know nothing about two of them." Max Meltzer met her dancing gaze, pinioning it with his own quiet eyes. "You're right to pick out the lucky fellows who can buy a good time. A little girl like you ought to have every enjoyment there is. If I could give it to you, do you think I would let the other fellows beat me to it?
Loosened from Fitz's pinioning grasp, the colonel, entirely oblivious to his friend's sudden interest in the coal-field, and slightly impatient at the delay, bounded like a balloon with its anchors cut. "An answer from the syndicate within a week! My dear Fitz, I see yo' drift. You have kept the Garden Spots for the foreign investors. That man is impressed, suh; I saw it in his eye."
"My dear, how good it is when you know that light for all the people already exists in life, and that there will be a time when they will begin to see it, when they will bathe their souls in it, and all, all, will take fire in its unquenchable flames." Her good, large face quivered; her eyes smiled radiantly; and her eyebrows trembled over them as if pinioning their flash.
His captor, watching him narrowly, had placed Ned against a tree, passed a piece of rope about the boy's body, pinioning his arms to his sides, securing the rope at the other side of the tree. Then the fellow had squatted down with rifle across his knees. Ned saw a powerfully-built, wiry man, whose lean face and deep-sunken eyes created a most unfavorable impression.
"You will tell lies in the service of le Bon Dieu? No not quite, not yet!" And still pinioning him with one hand, he dragged at his collar with the other till he succeeded, in spite of the minister's unwieldly efforts to defend himself, in rolling him down upon the floor, where he knelt upon him in triumph. "Voila! Je sais faire la boxe, moi!"
